The announcement states that Senators Angus King (Independent) and Lisa Murkowski (R) will lead the delegation, which will be in Nuuk until Monday.

On Sunday, a delegation of American politicians is in Nuuk.

Not much has been released to the public about the program, but at 11 am on Sunday morning they will meet with Inatsisartut's Foreign and Security Policy Committee.

This is reported by DR, and committee chairman Pipaluk Lynge (IA) confirms the meeting with Sermitsiaq.

The Americans landed in Nuuk on Saturday at 4 p.m.

An American Air Force has just landed in Nuuk at 4:00 PM.

It is expected that the plane's passengers are the American delegation, which will be meeting with Greenlandic politicians.

According to Sermitsiaq's information, US Senator Lisa Murkowski is expected to be among the participants.

It is not yet known how many American politicians will be in Greenland this weekend. The American consulate has stated in an email that it is the Greenlandic Government that has invited them to a dialogue.

In response to Sermitsiaq, Naalakkersuisoq's Minister for Foreign Affairs Vivian Motzfeldt (S) has stated that the topic will be the current international political situation.

The US Consulate in Nuuk announced on Friday that an American delegation is on its way to Nuuk.

According to Sermitsiaq's information, the Americans will land in Nuuk on Saturday afternoon.

Naalakkersuisoq for Foreign Affairs Vivian Motzfeldt said on Saturday in a brief comment to Sermitsiaq that these are friends of Greenland:

- The American delegation that is coming are friends of Greenland. And of course we will meet with them.

- The topic will clearly be the world situation as it is now. We can probably comment more after the visit, says Vivian Motzfeldt.

According to Sermitsiaq's information, Senator Lisa Murkowski from Alaska is expected to be among the participants in the delegation.

The host of this year's Grammy Awards, Trevor Noah, mentioned Greenland during the awards ceremony on Monday night.

This is reported by the AP news agency.

After singer Billie Eilish received the award for Best Song, Noah sent two suppositories at once to US President Donald Trump.

"This is a Grammy that every artist wants - almost as much as Trump wants Greenland, which makes sense. Well, because Epstein's island is gone," Noah said.

The comedian refers to Trump's repeated statements at the beginning of the year that he wants Greenland to come under American control "for reasons of national security."

After repeatedly saying that "we are going to get Greenland," he said at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland in mid-January that he will not use force to gain control of the Arctic region.

Donald Trump has also been linked several times to the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Last week, thousands of documents related to Epstein were released by the US Department of Justice.

Danish voters welcome Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen's handling of the international power struggle over Greenland. This is confirmed by a recent opinion poll from Epinion for DR and the Althing.

According to the poll, 43 percent of Danes today have a positive impression of Lars Løkke Rasmussen, who is also the party leader of the Moderates. 37 percent have a negative opinion.

Lars Løkke Rasmussen was much less popular in surveys of party leaders from the end of 2025. This is a record-breaking development against the background of the current political dispute over Greenland, notes the political media Altinget.

– When the opportunity arose to step onto the big stage, he seized it in a way that no other politician would be able to, political observer Steffen Hjaltelin tells the media.

A similar rapid development is evident from opinion polls in January. Over the course of two weeks, the Moderates went from 3.3 to 7.0 percent in surveys conducted by Voxmeter for Ritzau.

US President Donald Trump spoke on Sunday night about the negotiations regarding Greenland.

It happened Sunday night, when the president spoke to reporters aboard Air Force One.

Here, Trump was asked how the negotiations were going:

- Yes, we have started negotiations, and we seem to be pretty much in agreement. They want us to do it.

"I think it's going to be a good deal for everybody. A very important deal," Trump said.

Trump emphasizes that the agreement will be important for US national security, and he believes that the agreement will be in place soon.

Currently, senior officials from the United States, Greenland, and Denmark are negotiating about the United States' interest and military presence in Greenland, in light of the President's many statements that the United States should take over Greenland.

Naalakkersuisoq Vivian Motzfeldt (S) stated earlier this week to Sermitsiaq about the negotiations:

– I would like to tell citizens that the dialogue is underway at the civil service level. There will probably still be "noise" on the side, but the most important thing is that the dialogue between the countries takes place through the established channels. These are the ones we should focus on and hope that they lead to good results, said Vivian Motzfeldt.

The Ministry of Defense writes on X that Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen and Naalakkersuisoq Vivian Motzfeldt visited Danish soldiers at the hydroelectric power plant in Buksefjorden on Saturday.

The soldiers at the plant are training in guarding critical infrastructure as part of the Arctic Endurance exercise.

The visit of the two politicians was announced on Friday, and later in the day there will also be a citizens' meeting. Both Vivian Motzfeldt and Troels Lund Poulsen will participate in the citizens' meeting, which will be held in GUX Nuuk at 3:00 p.m.

A man employed by the German media outlet NDR attempted to raise the American flag in Greenland's capital, Nuuk, on Wednesday.

This is reported by Jyllands-Posten, which has confirmed the information by NDR.

The man - German comedian Maxi Schafroth - tried to raise the flag as part of a recording for the satirical magazine "Extra 3", where he is employed, is the explanation from NDR.

Maxi Schafroth has contacted Sermitsiaq regarding the incident, for which he would like to apologize.

He explains that the intention of the incident was to do something against the aggressive American approach, and both he and his cameraman are very shocked by the emotions they have triggered. On Wednesday, several media outlets reported that an unknown person attempted to raise an American flag in Greenland. A photographer from the AFP news agency also took pictures of the incident.

The Greenland Police also confirmed to Sermitsiaq that a person had attempted to raise the flag.

Everything went smoothly when people at the scene stopped him. The police arrived at the scene only afterwards.

The flagpole stands at the Katuaq cultural center in Nuuk.

The incident triggered "violent reactions" on social media in Greenland, writes Greenlandic influencer Orla Joelsen on X.

On Wednesday this week, someone attempted to raise the US flag in the square at Katuaq in the center of Nuuk.

This is reported by TV2, which also has a small video sequence of the episode.

According to the media, several people intervened and stopped the flag raising. The situation was peaceful, and the police are investigating the matter, they inform TV2.

Chairman of the Greenlandic Parliament, Jens-Frederik Nielsen (D), is in Paris on Wednesday, where he, together with Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, will speak to journalists and students at the University of Sciences Po.

Here it is said by Jens-Frederik Nielsen that Greenland is under pressure and that the situation makes the population afraid, but they have no intention of giving in.

This is what DR.dk writes.

"We are under pressure and our people are afraid. But we will not give up," Jens-Frederik Nielsen said, according to Reuters.

According to DR, Mette Frederiksen stated during a visit to Berlin on Tuesday that her assessment is that the crisis with the US's desire to take over Greenland is far from over.

Canadian singer and songwriter Neil Young has made all of his music freely available in Greenland, he writes on his website.

He is doing this after "the unjustified stress and threats" that Greenlanders have been exposed to by US President Donald Trump, according to Young.

- I hope that my music and my music films can ease some of the unjustified stress and threats you are experiencing from our unpopular and hopefully temporary government, it says.

That's why Neil Young is opening up his archives on his website, so that anyone with the Greenlandic country code in their mobile number can get free access to more than five decades of music from the Canadian for a year.

- It is my sincere wish that you can enjoy all my music in your beautiful Greenlandic homes in the highest quality. This is an offer of peace and love, it says.

You can access Niel Young's archive here.

In an interview with Fox News, US UN Ambassador Mike Waltz criticizes Denmark's efforts in Greenland. He mentions, among other things, the lack of defense, and he also touches on the spiral case and the healthcare system.

Mike Waltz is initially asked whether America's allies can no longer trust the United States due to the crisis surrounding Greenland, which President Donald Trump has claimed ownership of.

Waltz believes that the alliance has been strengthened because of Trump, who has made members promise to spend more money on defense.

He then highlights that Russia is heavily arming itself and has several bases in the Arctic, and that China is increasing its nuclear arsenal:

"All of these missiles will fly over the Arctic if there is an attack on the United States. President Trump is not going to wait for them to be on our doorstep," Mike Waltz told Fox News.

He emphasizes that the United States is about to buy icebreakers from Finland, but that, according to Waltz, Denmark and Canada do not have any "heavy icebreakers".

- The reality is that Denmark is a good ally in many ways, but they have ignored Greenland from a defense standpoint, says Waltz.

The ambassador says that the indigenous population of Greenland has also been ignored, and Waltz mentions the IUD case as a major failure, and he also says that if you get a cancer diagnosis in Greenland it is "almost a death sentence."

Mike Waltz believes that the native population of Alaska is better off economically.

Similar criticism of Denmark from the Trump administration has been repeatedly made by former ambassador to the Kingdom, Carla Sands.

In relation to cancer treatment in Greenland, it is an acquired area within the healthcare system. Denmark has allocated money in the coming years to help Greenland improve the healthcare system.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte will give a speech in the EU Parliament on Monday, and here he will address the conflict with the United States, where President Donald Trump has been adamant that the United States should take over Greenland.

Donald Trump announced after a meeting with Mark Rutte last week that an agreement had now been reached on the framework for negotiations on an agreement regarding Greenland.

Subsequently, there was widespread confusion about what had actually been agreed. During his speech in the EU Parliament, Rutte outlined, according to Berlingske, that two central working procedures had been agreed with European leaders and the US in relation to resolving the conflict.

Firstly, there must be a common NATO track on the Arctic, where the alliance must strengthen security in the Arctic and protect the region against Russian and Chinese activities – both militarily and economically.

Secondly, there must be a bilateral track between Denmark, Greenland and the USA:

- This will be anchored directly between the three parties, says Rutte according to Berlingske, and he points to the recent meeting between Danish and Greenlandic representatives and US Vice President J.D. Vance, as well as Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Mark Rutte also maintains that Trump has a point in that the Arctic requires more attention from NATO.

Russia's military is keeping a close eye on the US's development of the Golden Dome missile defense system - including in relation to Greenland.

This was stated by the Russian presidential spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, in an interview with Russian state television, according to the Reuters news agency.

"I have no doubt at all that our military will monitor and analyze these plans closely," he says.

The state-owned Russian news agency Tass writes that in the same interview, Peskov calls Greenland important in terms of "strategic stability and security".

Neither Tass nor Reuters have elaborated on why Peskov believes that Greenland plays a security role and to what extent or for whom.

Golden Dome is US President Donald Trump's plans for a major new air defense.

Trump has previously stated that if the system is to utilize its full potential, it requires Greenland to be involved.

The island's Arctic location is right in the flight path of missiles that China or Russia could send towards the United States.

Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Chairman of the Greenlandic Government Jens-Frederik Nielsen have visited a kindergarten in Nuuk.

In the pictures you can see them sitting and playing with the children.

They were welcomed by They were welcomed by the mayor of Kommuneqarfik Sermersooq Avaaraq Olsen.

It was primarily press members who had gathered at the airport to follow Mette Frederiksen's landing in Nuuk.

However, there were also a few locals who had come to see the Prime Minister.

One of them was Angunnguaq Berthelsen. He had Erfalasorput with him, and Mette Frederiksen waved to him.

– In these hard times, we must defend our country, that's why I brought Erfalasorput with me, he says.

Normally, around five journalists and photographers participate in Naalakkersuisut's press conferences, typically from Greenlandic media such as Sermitsiaq and KNR.

But on Thursday the situation was completely different when the President of the Greenland Government, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, called a press conference for foreign media.

According to the President's Department, there were 96 international media representatives registered for the press conference, which was held in Katuaq.

The interest was so great that there was no room in Naalakkersuisut's usual press conference room, and therefore the event was moved to Katuaq.

The press conference was about Greenland's situation in light of massive pressure from the United States.

The Chairman of the Greenland Government, Jens-Frederik Nielsen (D), will be visited by Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen on Friday.

The Prime Minister's Office thus informs on X that Mette Frederiksen is traveling from Brussels to Nuuk today to meet with Jens-Frederik Nielsen. The Ministry does not provide further details.

The visit comes after a few tense weeks, during which US President Donald Trump has repeatedly reiterated his claim to Greenland.

On Wednesday, the pressure eased when the president denied wanting to use military force to take over Greenland, and at the same time he also took an announced punitive tariff against Denmark and a number of allies off the table.

The Norwegian media NRK reported on Thursday that no less than five prime ministers from Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Iceland were to have met in Greenland on Friday.

However, the meeting was postponed due to recent developments in the Greenland case.

According to Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen (M), on Thursday there was the first meeting of a working group between Denmark, the USA and Greenland.

The Foreign Minister says that a "calm process" is now needed on the issue of the relationship between the United States, Denmark and Greenland, and on the working group that has been established between the countries.

He said this after a meeting of the Foreign Policy Committee.

- Without going into details, I can say that there was a meeting in Washington yesterday (Thursday, ed.), where it was reaffirmed that this is what we need to do, and where a plan was also laid out for how we will do it.

- This means that we can get those meetings started quite quickly, says Løkke, adding:

- We will not communicate when those meetings are, because we want to take the drama out of this. Now we need a calm process.

Løkke says that the situation between the three countries is now back to the starting point reached a little over a week ago, when Løkke and Greenland's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Vivian Motzfeldt, met with US Vice President J.D. Vance and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The parties agreed to establish a working group.
